Hey guys,

I wanted to post a report on some of the bass fishing I've done over the past few weeks. I've been doing some pond hopping around my area and now that the water temps are warming up, I'm starting to hook into some bass, at last.

I have been going at the most convenient place, a small pond below my house in the woods with a good number of bass. Very little fishing pressure, rarely do I see anyone else there going after them.

I caught these fish there on a variety of baits, but typically a small white spinnerbait and 4 inch Yum soft plastic cigar with a bleeding hook.

I have been going with my buddy Chris as well to hit some different ponds, including one in a subdivision that produces real well. Same lures for the most part, although we threw in some live nightcrawlers for some of these fish.

My smallest fish came from this pond...

And, my largest fish this year came from a local park that has two catch and release ponds that I fish about twice a week.

Any guess to the weight of the last fish?

Way day smack 'em up guys!  Hard telling on the bottom one. 2 1/2-3 ?
